    Raquel.
    I am not well.
    Raquel.
    And if I was a bell,
    I wish that you'd ring it.
    And if I had something to tell
    I could not unless I could sing it.
    Raquel.
    I am not well.
    And if I was a ball,
    I wish that you'd bounce it.
    And if I give you a telephone call,
    Oh baby, please don't announce it.
    Don't announce it.
    Raquel.
    I am not well.
    Raquel.
    What is this feeling
    that I'm not trying to squelch?
    I don't know your last name,
    I just know it's not Welch.
    Raquel.
    You always cast a spell.
    And if I was a ghost,
    I wish that you'd haunt me.
    But what I'd really like the most
    is baby, baby--that you want me.
    What is this feeling
    that I'm not trying to hide?
    I feel no shame
    but I feel no pride.
    Raquel.
    It's a color call from hell.
    And if you had a brain,
    I think that you'd diss me.
    But if you was really insane,
    Oh baby, baby--could you kiss me?
    Could you kiss me?
    Raquel.
    I am not well.
    Raquel.
    Raquel.
    I am unwell.
